Deep and Wide
I have friends whose faith is wide
Not a yoke, more like a guide
They say it's our job to choose
And heal the world's blues
Their tent opens wide
To embrace what's outside with faith that's wide
And I have friends whose faith is deep
Who daily learn laws they keep
They are quick to bless
And modest in their dress
And they open their homes
To trav'lers they don't know
Astride this divide, still growing,
I refuse to choose
I need both for the growth of my soul
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Some wide-faith friends can't see
Roles can differ equally
And how ritual performed
Can transform
Maybe not all change is good
For our peoplehood that so long stood
And some deep-faith friends can't see
All that women have to teach
And how prayer may fill more need
With less length or speed
Or when fences confound
What they surround
Astride this divide, still growing
I refuse to choose
I need both for the growth of my soul
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
INSTRUMENTAL
I seek faith that's wide
And deep at the same time
'cause both taught me much
And I was touched
At Sinai, all were there
So this rift is hard to bear – I despair
Astride this divide, still growing
I refuse to choose
I need both for the growth of my soul
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Both reside
Here inside!
Not a yoke, more like a guide
They say it's our job to choose
And heal the world's blues
Their tent opens wide
To embrace what's outside with faith that's wide
And I have friends whose faith is deep
Who daily learn laws they keep
They are quick to bless
And modest in their dress
And they open their homes
To trav'lers they don't know
Astride this divide, still growing,
I refuse to choose
I need both for the growth of my soul
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Some wide-faith friends can't see
Roles can differ equally
And how ritual performed
Can transform
Maybe not all change is good
For our peoplehood that so long stood
And some deep-faith friends can't see
All that women have to teach
And how prayer may fill more need
With less length or speed
Or when fences confound
What they surround
Astride this divide, still growing
I refuse to choose
I need both for the growth of my soul
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
INSTRUMENTAL
I seek faith that's wide
And deep at the same time
'cause both taught me much
And I was touched
At Sinai, all were there
So this rift is hard to bear – I despair
Astride this divide, still growing
I refuse to choose
I need both for the growth of my soul
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
Both reside
Here inside!
